The Department of Mines, Minerals and Energy: Division of Geology and Mineral Resources

The DMME Division of Geology and Mineral Resources is hosting two events this year at our Charlottesville office during Earth Science Week. On Tuesday, October 10 at 12pm, David Spears will be giving a talk about recent geologic discoveries in Virginia. On Thursday, October 12 at 2 pm, we’ll be screening the NOVA series episode “Making North America: Human” with follow-up discussion.

Our mineral and rock displays (including a display featuring samples from the collection of Nancy Swygert) will also be open for viewing on both days.
